[ Another long pause follows and Derek's stomach knots tighter and tighter. He doesn't know why she's upset, but she's clearly upset and, for that, Derek feels bad. He's hurt his first real friend here and that hadn't, obviously, been his intention.
When she finally speaks again, her tone has changed again, like she's trying to stay calm or like she's trying to hide the fact that he's upset her. He opens his mouth on several occassions to speak, but he'd have to interrupt her to do it, because she doesn't give him a chance to cut in and he doesn't want to be rude on top of it.
But then by the time he does get a chance to say something, he realizes she's hung up.
...how did he screw this up already? They've known each other for a month, tops. Only Derek could manage to crash and burn a friendship that fast.
He pulls the phone from his face belatedly and, yep, the call has ended. His arms falls limply to his side and he drops his head back, frowning and closing his eyes. ]
